This thread is for discussion of issues with transfers of UR points to someone else's hotel or airline loyalty program account.
There is a separate thread to discuss transfers of UR points directly into someone else's UR account: Chase closed my Sapphire Preferred account due to transfers to other UR accounts.

That works but in my case I owe my bro-in-law 150k. I can book for his family, but he has United Platinum status so miles are more versatile to him than to me.

So sounds like best bet is to make my mother part owner of business, make her AU and then xfer?

Transfer UR to your spouse of business account?
When you transfer on the last page you get: "You can transfer points in 1,000 point increments to participating frequent travel program accounts belonging to you, your spouse,domestic partner or, for business cardholders only, to joint business owner(s). If we suspect that you’ve engaged in fraudulent activity related to your credit card account or Ultimate Rewards, or that you've misused Ultimate Rewards in any way (for example by buying or selling points, moving or transferring points with or to an ineligible third party or account, or repeatedly opening or otherwise maintaining credit card accounts for the sole purpose of generating rewards) we may temporarily prohibit you from earning points or using points you've already earned. If we believe you've engaged in any of these acts, we'll close your credit card account and you'll lose all your points."
Does this mean that you can transfer your UR from business account only to joint owner but not your spouse?
Has anyone transferred UR from business account to your spouse?
Thanks.

Bluesky, it means nothing of that sort! ALL accounts may transfer to self or spouse/ DP, but "business cardholders only" enjoy the added privilege of transferring "to joint business owner(s)."

Has anyone done a UR transfer, using a business account, and transferred the points to a joint/co-business owner recently (who is not a spouse/domestic partner).
The idea that I would be unable to transfer to a joint business owner is crazy. But I dont see the language on the UR website allowing me to do so anymore.

I'm trying too. I owe my bro-in-law 150k United miles. I added him as AU on my Ink and I still can't figure a way to transfer miles.

Wish they would be like Amex and allow one to transfer to AUs.

I have searched this thread as well as others and have not found this question covered. Has anyone had experience transferring UR points to someone else's Korean Air Skypass account? I've done UR to someone else's Hyatt account with no problem but wanted to know about Korean. Thanks.

I read around and think I got the answer but I just wanted to confirm here 
Can my wife get a CSP, combine her Freedom and CSP UR points and transfer them to my UA account? I am only short 10k miles from booking both our tickets. From all my reading, seems yes.

Could someone please explain how I would obtain a member ID to transfer to a domestic partner/spouse?
Thanks in advance!
